BENTON, Ky. – Major League Fishing announced PiranhO2 as a sponsor of its MLF5 leagues and the MLF Fisheries Management Division (FMD) Fish Care program. This strategic partnership underscores a shared commitment to advancing fish health and sustainability at every level of the sport.
As part of the agreement, PiranhO2 has been integrated into all MLF live-release boats and is actively being used in the fish care tanks this week at the BFL All-American on Lake Hamilton in Arkansas. PiranhO2 will also play a key role in MLF’s FMD Fish Care initiatives, supporting the organization’s efforts to responsibly manage and protect fisheries during MLF tournaments.
“We are constantly looking for ways to improve fish care practices, and the introduction of PiranhO2 is a significant step forward,” said Steven Bardin, fisheries biologist and director of MLF’s Fisheries Management Division. “The advanced oxygenation and water-quality benefits provided by PiranhO2 represent the next evolution in tournament conservation.”
PiranhO2’s system uses a patented delivery process that diffuses pure oxygen and stabilizes water conditions in livewells and holding tanks. The result is improved fish vitality, reduced stress and better post-release survival rates – core goals of MLF’s conservation mission.

"PiranhO2 could not be more excited to partner with an organization that aligns with our mission and shares our common goals," said Joseph Krawczyk, president and CEO of PiranhO2. "At the forefront of our development of PiranhO2 was the goal to combine our expertise and scientific knowledge with conservation efforts for the long-term sustainability and health of fish populations. We are committed to educating the public about the importance of sustainable practices in recreational fishing."
